Jesse Ryder McCann

Founder/Creative Director

Jesse spent most of his life in Hawaii where he fell in love with surfing and nature. He started Cane Road in 2017 in Charleston, SC after seeing the need for a less traditional creative agency. Photography was his original passion, which led him into a career in the creative marketing world. Today, Jesse resides on Kauai with his wife and daughter where he spends as much time as possible surfing, traveling, and practicing yoga and fitness. Our challenge seems to be getting him to stick to these hobbies outside of normal business hours!

She returned home after graduation ready to use her skills for public relations writing and continue with her passion for singing, piano, and guitar. You can usually find her writing songs in her spare time, as well as performing at venues around the Holy City. Some of us here have been secretly sending tapes in to The Voice and may have scheduled her for an audition without her knowing…
